Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kovalev: Negotiations Ongoing For Fight, 10/19 or 10/26

[boliodogs]

Wrong! Golden Boy approached Eddie Hearn for a September 14 fight with Andrade, but next thing you know DAZN told Golden Boy they will only approve GGG and Kovalev:

From ESPN Jul 4: "Eric Gomez, the president of Alvarez promoter Golden Boy Promotions, exchanged messages with Andrade promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing on Tuesday and then spoke to him on the telephone on Wednesday to gauge Andrade's interest in facing Alvarez on Sept. 14, the Mexican Independence Day weekend on which Alvarez's next fight is planned."

I did not know that, Good for Canelo for being interested in fighting Andrade who is a difficult opponent with an ugly style. Has DAZN actually said Canelo cannot fight anyone but Kovalev or GGG? I don't think that is true. I read that talks are going on for Canelo to fight Dervy and Dervy is not Kovalev or GGG. Can you explain that?

Because that's what they were saying and doing BEFORE Canelo pulled a boss move and told them ok if you going to meddle and tell me who I have to fight then I will refuse to give you a sept fight at all. 1 week after he did now suddenly DAZN has approved another name NOT named GGG so that Canelo doesn't sit out until Dec. DAZN has folded to Canelo and are trying to get him back as early as possible because they need to him to sell subscriptions since GGG can't do that see the Rolls fight. lol

Canelo tried to fight Munguia. Canelo hand picked Fielding instead of fighting Callum Smith Who had KOed Fielding in two rounds shortly before Canelo fought him. Hell, Rolls would beat Fielding. If Canelo was the fearless guy you claim him to be he would have taken a challenge and fought Smith for the real world title. No fight has been announced between GGG and Munguia. That is just you trashing him in advance for something he has not done. If he does fight Munguia that's a bad fight for him but Canelo tried to fight Munguia first.[/QUOTE]

A lot of boxing fans already believe that the only reason Canelo didn’t lose his two fights with GGG and his fight against Lara is because the fights took place in LV.

Sure he would because every bum GGG fights is somehow better then world champs and top ranked world class fighters despite Rolls never could become a world champ and was EVER able to become even a world class fighter after almost a decade as a pro and being 35 years old. Just like semi retired gate keeper career 154lb Vanes would beat Dervy too right? And bum on house arrest Wade was secretly a beast better then Cotto?

Funny how these bums GGG keeps fighting have accomplished nothing in boxing BEFORE or after GGG fights them but according to his idiot fans it's a lot harder to pull Rolls out of uber car and fight then it is to move up to 168 and fight a world champ who was universally top 10 ranked by everyone. And get ready once GGG pulls another bum off the street or drags up another career 154lber up to middleweight idiots will be saying that's much tougher then moving up to 175 and fighting Kovalev lol

Exactly I had Canelo winning both fights.. if that was Floyd in fight 1 they would have talked about his excellent boxing.. but since it was Canelo his boxing was slandered as running.. absolute nonsense

[Chrismart]

I'm holding out to hear about catch-weights and rehydration before getting too excited.

Kovalev/Yarde, Kovalev/Canelo, Canelo/Derevyanchenko/IBF. These guys should act fast on things.

I don’t think Golovkin will agree to go back to Nevada for a third fight even if it means more money for him. GGG punished Canelo with heavy shots more in their rematch than he did in their first fight. It was my unbiased take.

[Bronx2245]

DAZN or NOBODY else has said that. Only Mannix who works for DAZN and trying to put a spin is alluding to that. He's not even reporting flat out if he fights Dervy Canelo has to agree to fight GGG next. There is NOTHING in his contract that says he has to fight GGG which is why they can't do shyt but beg and ask Canelo to fight GGG. They already blinked after the stare-down Canelo is getting his way no matter who he fights next it will NOT be GGG. The longer he doesn't fight the worst it is financially for DAZN while Canelo get's paid the exact same regardless what month he fights. Canelo has the leverage because he is driving their subscribers and without him they lose all those subscribers. They also have proven they have no say in who GGG fights they didn't want that Rolls trash GGG did. Let's see if they pressure GGG to fight someone legit next I don't think they will which is why GGG's name has been linked to Munguai next. lol

That's my problem with this, and the reporting! Why are they not putting pressure on GGG to fight Andrade? Why is there so much reporting about what they want from Canelo, and not what they want from GGG?

[Bronx2245]

So you really expect Andrade to come out and say phuk Eddie Hearn and trash his own promoter? Hearn could put his azzz on the shelf and trashing Hearn won't get him the fight anyway. he's in no man's land because it's not in Hearn's best interest to make Andrade fight either guy. He is pushing DAZN's agenda which is to make Canelo vs GGG 3. And if Canelo fights someone else he still won't make Andrade/GGG because GGG don't want that fight and DAZN don't want him to risk losing before they cash GGG out against Canelo. Hearn is in a conflict of interest he is suppose to work for the best deal and fight for his client but instead he's working for the best interest of DAZN not Andrade. If Andrade were signed with any other promoter their first and only interest would be to secure and demand a fight with either Canelo or GGG.

He doesn't have to say it like you phrased it, however, like you said, if Hearn is not working in the best interest of his client, then as the client, Andrade has every right to speak on the matter, and if I were him, I would do so! Hearn didn't cut off Whyte, and he's said a lot worse about Hearn and Joshua! Time to MAN UP! As my elders say, "A closed mouth won't get fed!"
